Low voltage networks, typically, established and managed by small consumers fall under the category of micro grids. These grids with components like distributed generators, variable loads, storage arrangements etc., can be operated in island mode or as a part of the grid. Renewable energy is becoming more preferable in view of its cleanliness and protecting the environment. The variety of devices interconnected leads to the requirement of a Multi Agent System (MAS) with a prime motive of guaranteeing a stable operation with the proposed system having two micro-grids of 1.5Kw (Wind), 1Kw (Solar), a 24V, 150Ah battery all connected to a local load. A simulation model for dynamic energy management (DEM) in the Java agent development (JADE) environment, is created which optimizes the course of action on hourly basis of the system. The simulation suggests that MAS can successfully manage dynamic loads, generated power in real-time micro-grids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
